Dear Swamiji, I really like the new approach that you have instilled in me and millions of others by changing our mindset of complaining about the problems we face from others to accept them as “Prasadham”. However its my understanding that this would work well only if all of us have the same mindset. For example, if Gandhi had accepted being thrown out of the compartment in South Africa in then we would not have got freedom. What confuses me is when should we draw the line between accepting whats happening to us and when one should not accept and fight back. Please enlighten me on this. It would be a great breakthrough for my thoughts.

Dear Sudheer,
We have to look the problem from many dimensions.
When Gandhiji was thrown out of the train, he was not revengeful at that moment. But he decided that such an experience should not happen to others; the British should be taught to understand the divinity in others. No one should be insulted based on his cast, creed and colour.
This ‘social reformation thought’ reformed the ordinary Gandhiji into Mahatma Gandhi.
We should also positively react for the benefit of others. That should be done in a constructive way by making them understand the divinity in others. That means, our reaction should not be out of ego or arrogance, but should be for a greater cause.
Hari Om!
